Not big into the show car thing myself but I think it looks fine.It gets your theme across with out question.I recognize the campaign ribbon under your hood,,I'm from that era(good old sunny south Viet Nam) It might be considered corny nowadays but the vets young and old are why we can drive corvettes and express opinions freely. So drive on and enjoy!

I like the color combo but lose all of the flare. The decals and graphics need to go.

If you turned the purple accents on the stripe and brakes to a black or flat black I think it would look much better. Mud flaps off....maybe a litlle too much decal-age going on.

Other than that I love the red interior and the rest.

If your happy with it and you like the way everything came out then thats all that should matter! Not what other people think and their own opinions of how "your opinion" of your car is. It's definitely clean and has been taken care of thats for damn sure with all the minor detail and paint work you've done! I would be happy with it if I were you.

I don't like the LS1 sticker on the tail. But other than that it looks ok to me.

I like it, small things like the star and the c5, ls1 lettering wouldn't be my first choice. However, the only opinion that matters is yours. But I do like the interior!

It looks fine to me but the important thing is if you like it-I mean I would think that's the only opinion that really matters.

I understand your "theme",but I would have painted the rotors and the brackets for the calipers black.It might look cleaner. If you are happy with it,that's cool. You are doing it to please yourself and not others. If we all have the same cars it would be a boring world.

I like a lot of it.. Looks pretty good , but just to busy especially from the side view for me. Don't care much for the blue and read on the rotors/calipers or the stuff right in front of the doors on the side.

I do like the idea of a red, white and blue theme, though.

Was killing some time waiting for a group to go to a show, really didn't see the smushed whatever it is. My bad.

I like the best car on the parking lot remark, I should have thought of that.

Thanks...

I know to the purists, it looks a little gawdy. And yes, there is a bit of tackyness displayed.

I do appreciate all the comments, good, bad, or indifferent, but that's what I expected from CF members. I know in the future if I have a question or a problem, I can get some sincere, constructive advice and feedback from a good bunch of folks.

Thanks again.

Norm
